Three people have been rescued after their boat began taking on water while they were out fishing.

The group, all from the same household, got into difficulty just north of Oban in Argyll and Bute at around 6.30pm on Saturday.

Oban RNLI all-weather lifeboat went to the scene and towed the group’s Rigid Inflatable boat back into Oban, where Oban and Appin Coastguard Team met them.

Stornoway Coastguard said the three people were safe and well with no reports of any injuries.

The group were within one to two miles of their base when the incident happened.
